Beyond Gay: The Politics of Pride is a 2009 documentary directed by Bob Christie, where he examines relevance of LGBT pride celebrations internationally, against the backdrop of opposition to such events in a number of countries.[1] The documentary tries to portray pride as more than just a parade, but rather an important step on the road to equality and fight against homophobia and discrimination.[2] It was produced with Transmission in association with Border2Border Entertainment and Nomadic Pictures.
